seemed that it is not recognized as function key.

I think that not - I tried to make the photoshop window smaller (it is
resizable) but I couldn't see any window below it.

Could you write something more how to recreate the bug? In a Ubuntu 7.04 in
System > Preferences I changed the keyboard layout to Slovakia > qwerty or
Slovakia > Extended Backspace, run "wine notepad" (I've even tried "LC_ALL=sk
wine notepad") and the delete key worked fine.

In what program do you have a problem? What distribution are you using?

The problem is that in the Slovak keyboard layout (setxkbmap sk) the Delete key
on the keypad is assigned 'comma' instead of KP_Decimal keysym. We can do
nothing
to detect that keypad is the source of a key press and not a real comma key.

I'd assume that comma is there instead of KP_Decimal to workaround a bug in
XLookupString to generate ',' instead of '.'.

Please report this bug to XOrg bugzilla instead.

Closing as invalid.

Keyboard type has nothing to do with the bug, keyboard layout does.

I already explained where the source of the bug is. You can use 'xev' to
see it as well.

Please do not reply to bugzilla notifications, add comments in the bugzilla
web interface instead.

This is not bug, this is czech (slovak, etc) internationalization, because
czechs national convention is using decimal comma not point for writing decimal
numbers.

But we have problem with gray key Delete, no with white key Del on numpad.

You can find patch at Novell's bugzilla -
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=405055
Nevertheless I'm afraid it could bring problem with comma/point decimal
delimiter. My numeric key "Del" has assigned means point and it's wrong. Can
you check it, please?

Yes, this patch is bad, because ...

1) it broke writing decimal comma on numpad
2) it broke compatibilty between windows and linux cz+sk keymap

Imho this is wine bug, because wine has trouble with grey key Delete, not with
white key Del on numpad. White key is OK in Wine and you patch moddified
setings for white key.

correction information

White key is not OK also. White DEL key has behavior the same as grey Delete
key in WINE. This is bug.

Correct behavior cz/sk keymap is:

grey Delete: delete char under cursor
    white Del:   insert comma

Really behavior cz/sk keymap in wine is:

grey Delete: delete char under cursor and insert comma
    white Del:   delete char under cursor and insert comma
